Also a secret to good coffee often starts with its grind. It&#8217;s important to know what of grind works best for the flavor you&#8217;re chasing \u2014 whether its coarse, medium or fine.<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Coarse Grind<\/td>\n<td>French Press, Toddy Makers (cold brew method), Vacuum Coffee Maker, and Percolaters<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Medium\/Fine Grind<\/td>\n<td>Auto Drip Makers (with flat bottom filters).

Once the grinder is loaded, use the grinder in short bursts\u00a0\u00a0a few seconds each so the coffee doesn\u2019t overheat. Also shake the grinder as it&#8217;s grinding to get an even grind size.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Using a Burr Grinder:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Burr grinders offer coffee drinkers greater precision and consistent grind size. It&#8217;s a more expensive alternative to other grinding methods, so some time needs to be spent figuring out what burr grind works best for you.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The water:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We recommend using filtered water for brewing. The better the water, the better the end result. Public water systems tend to add undesirable flavors.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\"><strong>Brew your Kona coffee<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not enough to bring your water to a boil. You want that water the right temperature\u00a0 \u2014 between 195 and 205 fahrenheit. Just below boiling. Any hotter, and you&#8217;ll run the risk of burning the grinds when you add the water.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_969\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-969\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-969\" src=\"https:\/\/konacoffee.com\/kona-coffee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/frenchpress-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Kona Coffee in a french press\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/konacoffee-cdn.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/kona-coffee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/25111731\/frenchpress-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/konacoffee-cdn.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/kona-coffee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/25111731\/frenchpress-416x555.jpg 416w, https:\/\/konacoffee-cdn.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/kona-coffee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/25111731\/frenchpress.jpg 549w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-969\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kona Coffee steeping in a french press with nice crema.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We recommend using a French press.
